It Is. a reasonable presumption lint
tlio reason's largest audience, vvlitch
trotvded tlio Metropolitan Opera House
last evenlnp, came, primarily to hear
Cnmio sing "Canlo'B Lament." "Canned"
by multitudinous, phonograph, thin ex-
:erpt from "I TaRllaccl' has popularized
the loudest record extant. Naturally,
when tho great tenor In the flevh hurls
his vociferous tones through a vast au
ditorium until Its very walls reverberate
public dclleht Is still further Intensified
As a stmulUT for operatic patronage tho
Caruso Canlo Is as jet unsurpassed
Hilling U automatically Insures a full
bouse.
Last night's 'Tngllaccl cast n
almost Identical with the one which In
terpreted the music drama hoe less
llian a jear ago That the audience
was quite as large It not a tiltlo
Urgcr than on that pieuedcnt occasion
Axes tho Identity of tho operatic mag
net. It Is Leoncavallo's littlo opera,
'Cavallerla Kuntlcana," which tradi
tionally rounds out the familiar double
Mil, that has como to bo popularly re
garded as Incidental. Yet It was Mas
cagnls masterpiece which carried oft tho
prlmo artlstlo honors last cenlng.
Never since Oscar Ilammersteln pulled
down tho glcmlng Harrah "mansion"
and supplanted It with tho largest tem
ple of muslo In the land have tho mood
and spirit of 'Cuallerla" been so suc
cessfully riught by wingers, conductor
and stago director Tho sultry, tragic at
mosphere of the Introduction, the storm
of Mediterranean pisslon which Is pub
equentlv developed, tho dramitlc sin
cerity of tho score vero retllred by
Huperb artistic co-opei.itlon. IJen tho
hacknejed Inteunezzo had a virility and
effectiveness sutli as that much hurily
gurdled" "piece" Ins not disclosed hero
In years Conductor Moranzonl read It
with magnificent authority, from which
all saccharine tentlmentallty was happily
banished. Indeed, his Interpretation of
the whole nooro was masterly and no
small fuctor In keying tho cast to tho
pitch of Inspiration.
It is a blgnlflcant commentary on
American musical progress that three
of tho Sicilian characters were Inter
preted by fellow citizens Paul Alt
house. Thomas Chalmers and Florence
Ilaston Tho last named was promptly
established as a dramatic soprano of
commanding talent. Something like ten
ears ago she wis heard In this city as
Kundry In Henry W. Savage's Kngllsh
production, of "Parsifal" Since that
ttmn lipi nrf trtwn tt la arM tn Cltirmnn
f training) has triumphantly expanded
fine singStWitn imaginative reeling, witn
consoling richness of tone, with his
trionic fire and with tasto altogether
unclouded by overemphasis Her San
tuzza was a moving and eloquent por
tialt, recalling Calve In tho part more
than nn other great diva.
Mr. Althouso, partially a Philadelphia
product, was a Turlddu 9 opulent vocal
assets and a discretionary acting sense
It was unfortunate that his make-up' bo
little suggested the essentially Latin as
pect of the role, but that defect can bo
Judiciously repaired Mr. Chalmers,
whose voice Is mellifluous and suave, If
not especially powerful, was a satisfac
tory Alflo, and Flora Perlnl was quite
tho rural "vampire ' as Lpla Tho Lucia
of Marie Mnttfcld exhibited the usual
competence.
"PagllaccI'B" artificiality and the Irri
tating remlnlscant quality of the PCore
were pirtlculirly apparent, coming so
close to a finely set opera.Ua gem As a
fortnight ago In "Manon Lescaut," Ca
ruso was In glorious voice. Ills "La
ment" was as strenuously proclaimed as
ever, nnd with additional sobs, copious
' melodious tears" and a deal of new
bjplay which honest dramatic standards
would assuredly condemn as overacting
There Is a legend that the tenor whose
hlstrlonlsm Is congenltally weak can
really portray the ono role of Canlo As
a matter of fact, ho overloads It with
billy, distracting details which are the
reverse of good art,
Amato's Tonlo eclioed somewhat of
Ms great dajs, and the present ineffi
ciency of his mlddlo register was less
obvious than usual, Claudia Muzlo as
Kedda repeated her admirable perform
ance of last season, and Mario Laurentl
made atonement for his recent regretta
ble treatment of Valontlne In '"Faust"
with a capital Hllvlo. Tho chorus won
familiar stellar laurels In both operas
